Package: aplus-fsf-dev
Version: 4.22.1-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The package aplus-fsf-dev does not contain header files required
to compile user-written C subroutines to be called from A+.
These files are not currently packaged at all.
Currently aplus-fsf-dev is an empty metapackage that depends on
other aplus-fsf* packages while the name misleadingly suggests that
it should contain development headers. Moreover, descriptions of
aplus-fsf and aplus-fsf-doc state that aplus-fsf-dev contains the
"development environment" as opposed to the "run-time environment"
provided by aplus-fsf binary package which reinforces that expectation.
I suggest renaming aplus-fsf which contains the interpreter and it's
core libraries to something else (like aplus-fsf-core), using the name
aplus-fsf for a metapackage depending on all the other packages, and
providing development files in aplus-fsf-dev.
